Cucumber Jumbo Seeds | Giant Bangladeshi Variety, Up to 2-3 Kg Fruit for Home Gardens

Cucumber Jumbo Seeds grow one of the most eye-catching cucumber varieties available to home gardeners in the United States. Unlike standard slicing cucumbers that average a few hundred grams, this giant variety regularly produces individual fruits weighing 2 to 3 kg when allowed to mature on the vine. Botanically still Cucumis sativus, the same species as every garden cucumber, this particular variety has been selected and grown for its unusually large fruit size, making it a favorite among gardeners who enjoy growing something impressive as well as practical. The vines establish quickly, climb readily on a trellis or spread along open ground, and reward patient gardeners with cucumbers that are genuinely conversation-starters at the dinner table.
